My original controller design (a beefed up Anvilus system) was rated at 80A per channel and was going to use a fuse for each channel.  When I moved to the current ESC I just used what I had in stock, the 80A ANL fuses from the previous design.  The current setup is using one 80A fuse installed before the ESC.  So far I haven't blown a fuse and if I ever do, I've got 20 more (ANL's are cheap on eBay).
